PSoC
The PSoC family consists of on-chip controller devices, which
are designed to replace multiple traditional microcontroller unit
(MCU)-based components with one, low cost single-chip
programmable component. A PSoC device includes config-
urable analog and digital blocks, and programmable inter-
connect. This architecture allows the user to create customized
peripheral configurations, to match the requirements of each
individual application. Additionally, a fast CPU, Flash program
memory, SRAM data memory, and configurable I/O are included
in a range of convenient pinouts.
The architecture for this device family, as shown in the

A common, versatile bus allows connection between I/O and the
analog system.
Each CY8C20x36A/46A/66A/96A PSoC device includes a
dedicated CapSense block that provides sensing and scanning
control circuitry for capacitive sensing applications. Depending
on the PSoC package, up to 36 GPIO are also included. The
GPIO provides access to the MCU and analog mux.
PSoC Core
The PSoC Core is a powerful engine that supports a rich
instruction set. It encompasses SRAM for data storage, an
interrupt controller, sleep and watchdog timers, and IMO and
ILO. The CPU core, called the M8C, is a powerful processor with
speeds up to 24 MHz. The M8C is a 4-MIPS, 8-bit Harvard archi-
tecture microprocessor.
CapSense System
The analog system contains the capacitive sensing hardware.
Several hardware algorithms are supported. This hardware
performs capacitive sensing and scanning without requiring
external components. The analog system is composed of the
CapSense PSoC block and an internal 1V or 1.2V analog
reference, which together support capacitive sensing of up to 33
inputs
Scanning of enabled CapSense pins are completed quickly and
easily across multiple ports.
SmartSense™
SmartSense is an innovative solution from Cypress that removes
manual tuning of CapSense applications. This solution is easy to
use and provides a robust noise immunity. It is the only auto-
tuning solution that establishes, monitors, and maintains all
required tuning parameters. SmartSense allows engineers to go
from prototyping to mass production without re-tuning for
manufacturing variations in PCB and/or overlay material
properties.

Analog Multiplexer System
The Analog Mux Bus can connect to every GPIO pin. Pins are
connected to the bus individually or in any combination. The bus
also connects to the analog system for analysis with the
CapSense block comparator.
Switch control logic enables selected pins to precharge
continuously under hardware control. This enables capacitive
measurement for applications such as touch sensing. Other
multiplexer applications include:

Complex capacitive sensing interfaces, such as sliders and
touchpads.
Chip-wide mux that allows analog input from any I/O pin.
Crosspoint connection between any I/O pin combinations.
